Along the same line as my last response, I wonder what everyone thinks of this:
I get a call one night, probably 10 years ago, from a good friend that says "our kids bought us a gift card to (name your favorite expensive restaurant here), would you and your wife like to join us tonight. So we did. We ate like kings, appetizers, bottles of wine, etc. When the waiter came and asked if we were all together, my friend said "no, we have a gift card for ours, they are on a separate check." I didn't complain and paid my check obviously, but that is not what I expected based upon the way I was invited. Thoughts?
